DEMONSTRATION PROJECT

The Minnesota Department of Education awarded $298,000 in technology grant monies to Central Minnesota Research and Development Council (cmERDC) and twenty K-12 schools partners.  South Central Service Cooperative has partnered with cmERDC to offer a suite of data warehouse products to our member school districts to train staff to effectively use data driven decision-making applications.

The Enhancing Education Through Technology (E2T2) grant will provide ongoing professional development for administrators, technology coordinators, and classroom teachers to:

• Support changes in school culture regarding the use of assessment data to drive policy, programmatic, and instructional decisions

• Assist school staff in preparing local data to use with a data driven decision-making (DDDM) system

• Support the implementation of strategies resulting from the analysis and interpretation of data

• Provide formative and summative evaluations of the project and subsequent application of project activities to the entire SOCRATES region which serves twenty-six school districts and nine cooperatives

Forward-thinking schools across the country are employing data driven decision-making to:

• Narrow the achievement gap

• Improve teacher instruction and student learning

• Share best practice amongst schools and districts

• Effectively communicate important educational issues to stakeholders

• Encourage parental involvement

• Promote dialogue within the educational community
